Tasting Notes The Côte de Léchet Premier Cru from Sébastien Dampt is a taut, mineral-driven Chardonnay with aromas of green apple, lime zest, seashells, and chalk. On the palate, it is crisp and precise, showing bracing acidity, citrus fruit, and oyster-shell salinity, with a leesy texture that adds depth. The finish is long, sappy, and saline, making it both refreshing in youth and structured enough to age gracefully for 10–15 years. About Winery Domaine Sébastien Dampt was founded in 2007 in Milly, near Chablis, by Sébastien Dampt, son of Daniel Dampt and grandson of Jean Defaix, continuing a family winemaking tradition spanning over 150 years. He began with just 6 hectares, producing Petit Chablis, Chablis, and several Premier Crus including Vaillons, Côte de Léchet, and Les Beugnons. Known for his focus on terroir expression, Sébastien uses stainless steel and concrete egg fermenters to highlight minerality while avoiding heavy oak influence. Today, alongside his father and brother (who run their own domaines), Sébastien has established himself as one of Chablis’s promising new-generation producers, crafting wines that balance purity, freshness, and age-worthy structure.

It is already impressive but will truly shine after a few years of aging, making it a strong candidate for collectors seeking a Premier Cru Burgundy with both structure and finesse.
